Discussion

The big news this week is that noticeably milder conditions will finally move into the Mid-Atlantic region, but we’ll have to get through more accumulating snow before we get there. Yet another system dropping southeastward from Canada will push snow into the region late tonight and early Tuesday and this snow could change briefly to sleet and/or freezing rain before ending tomorrow. 1-3 inches of new snow accumulations are likely and the Tuesday morning commute will likely have numerous slick spots. Once this system departs the region by later Tuesday, milder air will begin to filter into the area and high temperatures in the 40’s are likely on Wednesday and Thursday. This week's break to milder weather conditions does not signal the end of winter and we'll actually begin to cool down some this weekend with much colder air likely to return later this month. One other note: Philly Airport has now tied for 3rd place for its snowiest winter ever with the Saturday snowfall moving seasonal totals to 55.4” and that now matches the winter of 1898-1899 – quite impressive.
